Although truck accidents may not be as common as car accidents, the injuries sustained from trucking accidents are just as severe, if not worse. Many large trucks contain flammable cargo or hazardous materials. When these trucks collide with standard-size cars, trucks or motorcycles, the cargo or materials can spill out, increasing the chance of a fire or explosion. Furthermore, large 18-wheel trucks and tractor trailers weigh substantially more than standard vehicles, which can result in grave consequences for passengers of smaller vehicles.

Trucking accidents are scary and can happen for any number of reasons including:

Reckless driving

Negligent behavior

Drunk or impaired driving

Falling asleep at the wheel

Poorly maintained equipment

Brake failure

Improper loading

Failure to properly inspect equipment
